Play for Healing
This is a story of finding joy through the creative act of healing. I grew up in a household where both the mother and the father suffered from a severe lack of Spiritual guidance, having never healed from their own childhood traumas. It filled me with everything from a sense of unworthiness and self-hate to the fear of finding out who I truly was because I thought I must be terrible inside.

Anxiety is more than just worrying
Anxiety is more than just worrying. Anxiety is the restless nights of sleep, as you toss and turn. It is your brain never being able to shut off. It is the thoughts you over-think before bedtime and all of your worst fears become a reality in dreams and nightmares. It is waking up tired even though your day just started.

The Allure of a Label
When I was first seeking a true diagnosis, back in December of 2020, I found myself clinging to a list of possible mental illnesses that could be the source of my symptom. Much like when I realized I was not straight, I felt like I needed a label to understand and justify myself. I landed on bisexual, was desperate for a generalized anxiety disorder diagnosis, and leaned heavily on my desire to be an academic. Fast forward to a month or two ago and you’d have found me drafting this piece for the first and most certainly not last time. Then, I wanted to write about person-first and identity-first language. I wanted to air more grievances about not having identity-first language for my borderline personality disorder or my schizoaffective disorder. I’m more than an anxious person or a queer person, but I don’t have words that describe the other identities. I’ve been searching for descriptors, all the while ignoring the terms disabled and chronically ill. Enter my newest therapist, who needed only one session to pin me squarely in the label-lover category.
